God is Love

I was asked once to name a Godly attribute that I would love to have and to work for. I chose love. Love, I feel, is the greatest attribute to learn and to have. With love comes humility, intergridy, dilligence, faith, and hope. These are just a few of the attributes that makes God, God! It would be hard to help someone if you didn't have love for them. When we love people, we put ourselves last and others first. Christ was a perfect example for that by suffering in the Garden of Gethsemene. He did not want to do this. He asked the Father if he could not do this! In fact, the reason we had Jesus come down was because our Father in Heaven loved us so much that he sent his Only Begotton Son, Jesus Christ. Then, going back to Christ, with love in his heart he performed the Atonement. He did it with us in his mind, He thought of us individually and personally. He wanted us to have the same reward He would recieve. Because of the perfect act of love, we must show the same love to each other! Though we will never be able to do the things which he did, we can still make someone's day better by the smallest acts of service. Smiling, talking with them, sending a text to them asking them whats up! When we do the small acts of service, we find ourselves in small bits! When we lose ourselves we find ourselves! I know that if we start showing each other the love that we desire, it will make the world such a better place to be in...a place that was given to us! A place that was designed to be happy! To have peace and joy. God is love, which is ultimatley the driving force for everything!
